Welcome to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), established January 15, 2015. With this new agency, the Department of Defense is transforming the way we account for missing personnel for conflicts dating from World War II through the First Gulf War. DPAA integrates the former offices responsible for this work: the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO), and Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory (LSEL). Our new website will provide you with information and updates on our work. Between now and January 2016, our website will be continuously updated. Visit our site periodically as we update with new content and features.
